MCAS dodges storm bullet

FirepowerA5See

Hurricane Earl was the opening act for this year’s hur-

ricane season, and although the air station dodged the

bullet of serious destructive weather, Marines at Cherry

Point took all precautions to ensure the air station stayed

in a safe state.

The strength of Hurricane Earl fl uctuated between

categories 3 and 4 as it brushed the coastline of eastern

North Carolina Sept. 2, with sustained winds blowing

more than 100 mph, according to The Weather Channel’s

website. Cherry Point is about 20 miles from the Atlantic

coastline.

Cherry Point has been in destructive weather condition

V since May 24, when the air station conducted its fi rst

hurricane drill of the year under the threat of the fi ctional

“Hurricane Gibs.” Condition V is normally maintained

throughout the offi cial hurricane season dates of June 1

to Nov. 30.

Earl’s late August approach resulted in increased readi-

ness by all commands on the air station. Although the 2nd

Marine Aircraft Wing took its normal steps of securing

equipment and aircraft, the storm’s proximity allowed the

wing to continue normal fl ight operations and training,

as well as the continued support of community relations

events at distant locations. The Fleet Readiness Center

East canceled two late shifts during the height of the

storm’s effects on Cherry Point but, like the air station,

resumed operations on Friday.

Despite Earl’s near-miss of Cherry Point, it did serve

to remind people here of the dangers posed by tropical

storms and the need to be prepared. It also tested the air

station’s emergency operations plan and its system for

getting the word out to military and civilian employees.

The air station uses a number of tools to reach out to

personnel here. Though most military members get word

through their chain of command, Cherry Point also uses

various media sources, including the command informa-

tion line (466-3093), the Cherry Point website (http://

www.marines.mil/unit/mcascherrypoint), Cherry Point

TV-6, the offi cial Cherry Point Facebook site, all-hands

e-mail, and local civilian television and radio stations.

These are updated when destructive weather conditions

offi cially change and when work schedules are adjusted.

According to Maj. Will Klumpp, director of the Joint

Public Affairs Offi ce here, the two easiest sources to

reach for instant information are the command informa-

tion line and the website.

“Any of these tools could be negatively affected by

weather, but so far we have been successful in maintain-

MWSS-274 completes mission

Marines of Marine Wing Support Squadron 274 returned to Cher-

Sunday.

A crowd of nearly 250 family members and friends greeted the

MWSS-274 Marines late Sunday night at the squadron’s fuel facili-

ties near the fl ight line. The majority of the unit will be returning

later this month.

Cecile Vadon came all the way from Houston, Texas, to see her

son, Sgt. Richard Oglesby.

“I haven’t seen him since Christmas,” Vadon said. “I can’t wait

to give him a big hug. It’s diffi cult, but knowing that they’re doing

what they love makes it worth it.”

Maj. Gen. Carl B. Jensen, the Marine Corps In-

stallations East commanding general, recently spoke

at a biofuels forum at the Jones County Civic Center

in Trenton, N.C.

Jensen said locally produced biofuels could help

the Marines meet the “considerable” renewable en-

ergy goals required by federal law.

The Military Growth Task Force hosted the event

in order to try to grow the biofuels industry to help

the military meet its renewable energy targets and

to help keep land around its bases rural through

farming, explained Colleen Roberts, the task force’s

communications director.

In fi scal year 2009, Marine Corps Air Station

Cherry Point used 43,339 gallons of biofuels, Rob-

erts said.

Jensen said there is a mandate to reduce energy

consumption by 30 percent by 2015 compared with

a 2003 baseline under the 2007 Energy Indepen-

dence and Security Act. He said they must also grow

their use of renewable energy sources by 25 percent

by 2025.

“We’re into geothermal where it makes sense,

we’re into PV (photovoltaic), we’re into biofuels

— anywhere and anyhow that I can obtain some of

these goals,” Jensen said. “I’ve got to start now, and

I’ve got to move out aggressively if I’m going to

meet these goals. And I need your help.”

Jensen said that MCIEAST is responsible for about

41 percent of the Corps’ total energy consumption.

Jensen said he would like to buy locally produced

biofuels to help the Marines reach their energy tar-

gets.

Jensen said he’s had discussions with the Defense

Energy Supply Center, which provides fuel to the

military, about buying more biofuels. Encouraging

their production could encourage farming and help

curb development potentially harmful to the mili-

tary, he said.

The Marines of Marine Wing Communications Squadron 28 received

training concerning the dangers of drinking and driving Sept. 1.

Lt. Col. Brian J. King, commanding offi cer of MWCS-28, explained that

this training was among tools MWCS-28 provides to Marines on a regular

basis.

“Any time Marines know more, they are better able to make the right

decision,” said King. “We arm our Marines with knowledge – training has

to be continuous because we will always have new Marines.”

As part of their training, the Marines were shown a vehicle used by law

enforcement known as the “BAC Mobile,” because it can test blood alco-

hol content levels. It is a mobile facility

where suspected drunk drivers are tested

for sobriety, tried in a magistrate court,

and then either released or sentenced. If

sentenced, they are taken to jail.

King said MWCS-28 has a good record

of Marines staying out of trouble. The

command gives its Marines the means to

stay safe by encouraging Marines to plan

ahead, to use their “Arrive Alive” cards,

and to use the mentor system.

James E. Owen, a police offi cer with

the New Bern Police Department, agrees

that Marines have to know and use the

tools provided to them. Using a desig-

nated driver is the smartest thing to do,

explained Owen.

“The bottom line is that if you’re going

to have a beer, leave your car at home,”

Owen added.

Cpl. Travis Cantrell with MWCS-28

received the training and said he believes

it is very useful.

“It makes you think twice,” Cantrell

said. “You’re all getting trained at the

same time, which saves a lot of confu-

sion. Junior Marines need the training

and NCOs set the example.”

Kenny Rhodes, breath alcohol testing

tunity to train Marines and expose myths

about drunk driving to raise awareness of

previous, more severe storms,” said Klumpp.

“We hope Hurricane Earl will remind personnel here

of the potential dangers of severe tropical storms and

hurricanes,” Klumpp said. “Appropriate preparation and

exercising extreme caution during the course of a storm

are the best ways to survive these potentially catastrophic

events.”

What’s your job?My job is to utilize military working dogs to perform

patrols, explosive detection, and narcotics detection

aboard the air station. I also make sure my dog, Dara,

is in good health and well trained by performing

health checks, practicing training bites and building

aggression.

What’s your favorite part?I basically get to play with dogs all day. All the training

we do the dog’s think is just play because they are

merely going off of natural instinct.

What’s the most challenging part?Building rapport with the dog can be very difficult at

first. Seeing dogs leave the kennel is hard as well.

How does your job support the mission of 2nd MAW and MCAS Cherry Point?We aid with military police patrols by making sure the

air station is free of explosives and narcotics. We help

to make sure that all personnel aboard the air station

are safe.

How does your job in garrison differ from your job in the field?In garrison there is a lot of patrol work. In the field

our work consists almost entirely of working with the

ground units clearing towns, tracking insurgents, and

helping to clear explosives. We help protect troops from

improvised explosive devices.

It’s about that time of the year again—the sum-

mer has almost past us, our New Years’ resolu-

tions have long been broken several times, the

new commitment to become more organized has

failed, and life continues as usual. Once again

our decision to make that life-changing decision

for the better never seemed to materialize. Don’t

worry, we always have next year.

Have you ever noticed that this seems to be the

pattern in many of our lives and it even carries

over to our relationship with God? We can buy

all the self-help books on the shelves of Barnes

and Noble, commit to a certain diet and exercise

routine, and even renew our commitment to God

with a promise of more time spent in prayer, but

never really follow through.

David Nasser tells of a story when, in his new-

lywed state of marriage, his wife really wanted to

do something special for him by cooking him a

wonderful meal. She knew his favorite seasoning

sauce was called Dale’s Steak Sauce and decid-

ed she would use this as a marinade on chicken.

Due to an unpredictable work schedule and other

events, the chicken ended up soaking for almost

three days! What she didn’t know was that this

steak sauce was highly acidic and not really made

for marinating but just seasoning at the time of

consumption. On that third day, David decided to

help his wife prepare this “special” chicken and

began to pull it out of the container. The chicken

was unrecognizable! Due to the high level of acid

in the sauce, it had altered the entire composition

A man visited his pastor’s home and asked to see the pastor’s wife, a

woman well known for her charitable impulses.

“Madam,” he said in a broken voice, “I wish to draw your attention

to the terrible plight of a poor family in this district. The father of the

family is dead, the mother is too ill to work, and the nine children are

starving. They are about to be turned into the cold, empty streets unless

someone pays their rent, which amounts to $400.”

“How terrible!” exclaimed the pastor’s wife. “May I ask how you

know this family?”

The sympathetic visitor applied his handkerchief to his eyes.

“I’m the landlord,” he sobbed.

A residential lease is the document that you sign to rent property to

live in. It is the agreement between you, the lessee, and the property

owner, the lessor, that gives you the right to occupy the premises and

the obligation to pay rent.

Leases can take different forms. Some are very simple, listing only

the most basic obligations of the lessee and lessor. Others are complex,

addressing a wide variety of potential issues such as utility payments,

infestations, mold and common areas. Most states have laws that pro-

tect both landlord and renter by requiring certain terms and providing

default rules when the lease leaves something out.

For instance, in North Carolina, a landlord can charge up to two

month’s rent as a security deposit on a standard one-year lease. How-

ever, he must keep the security deposit in a bank and provide the name

of the bank to the lessee. North Carolina also permits the landlord to

charge a reasonable, nonrefundable pet fee.

Many leases signed by military personnel include something called

a military clause. This clause usually allows the lessee to break the

lease if he receives permanant change of station orders or another type

of transfer. However, a federal law called the Servicemembers Civil

Relief Act (SCRA) protects a service member’s right to cancel a resi-

dential lease in the case of a PCS or deployment more than 90 days,

even if there isn’t a military clause. So these clauses are only useful if

they grant additional rights.

The SCRA also includes a provision that allows a service member to

cancel a lease when he is ordered into government housing that causes

him to lose his BAH. Privatized family housing on station has compli-

cated this issue because DOD regulations state that housing that has

been privatized is, by defi nition, not government housing. Moving into

AMCC housing at Cherry Point, for example, does not result in the loss

of BAH – the full BAH is paid to AMCC by a voluntary allotment that

the service member establishes when the lease is signed.

One way to ensure that your lease is fair is to get a referral from the base housing offi ce. They

know who can be trusted and which housing areas provide the best services and amenities. This is

why Marine Corps Order P1000.6G requires commanders to direct Marines to report to the local

housing referral offi ce before making any rental or lease agreement, or purchasing a home, and why

you see that statement on your PCS orders endorsement.

Unfortunately, no matter how comprehensive your lease, disputes with the lessor can still occur.

One common problem involves the condition of the property.

Your lease requires that the property is fi t and habitable, meaning that it is appropriate for humans

to live in. Leaking or non-functioning plumbing, infestations and damage to the structure can cause

a piece of property to become uninhabitable.

When you take possession of the residence (move-in) the landlord or his agent should conduct an

inspection of the property with you.

Take your time with this inspection and be sure to note any missing, damaged, or broken items, in

writing. Get an agreed-upon deadline, also in writing, for repairs to be completed before you agree

to take possession. Once you are moved in, be sure to give your landlord prompt notice of any issues

that might make the property uninhabitable. For instance, if the property suffers damage during a

hurricane, be sure to contact the landlord as soon as possible after you discover the problem. If you

fail to notify the landlord and the problem gets worse, it’s possible that you could be charged with

some of the cost of the repair. A landlord is required to repair habitability issues in a reasonable

amount of time.

Reasonable is a subjective term that depends on the problem. For instance, a piece of wallpaper

that is coming loose at the top of the wall might take a week or more to fi x, but a malfunctioning

smoke detector should be fi xed the same day it is reported.

Most leases require you to notify the landlord of any necessary repairs in writing. Ideally, you can

just deliver a letter explaining the problems (possibly with your next rent payment).

However, if your landlord has a history of refusing to make necessary repairs then you might want

to mail the letter certifi ed with a return receipt. This process (available at the Post Offi ce) requires

whoever receives the letter to sign for it on a card that is returned to you, so you have proof of the

time and date the letter was received. In the worst cases it may become necessary to try to terminate

or “get out of” your lease.

If your landlord does not agree to terminate the lease, you will likely have to go to court to get a

judge to order that the lease is terminated. If the landlord does agree, be sure to get the agreement in

writing before you leave. If you simply walk-away from your lease your landlord might be able to

force you to pay out the rest of the rent, even if you are not living in the property.

Legal Assistance can help you with noncriminal legal matters. Walk-ins are accepted weekdays at

7:30 a.m. in the Joint Law Center, Bldg. 219, and appointments can be made by calling 466-2311.

of the meat! No matter what they did to the chicken, they could not get it back to its original state.

This principle is also true when we apply it to God and his word. He wants us to not just meditate

on his word, but to “marinate” in it. He wants his truth to change the very fi bers of our being so that

when people see us, they do not recognize the old self, but only see what we have changedw into.

Scripture points this out in Romans 12:2, “do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world,

but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

Meditating or “marinating” on God’s truth is not always easy but it holds all the keys to success

and fulfi llment, and will give us the ability to make that life-changing decision a reality, not just a

resolution.

CHAPLAIN from page A2

Master Sgt. Robert Casey, the senior enlisted advisor for MWSS-274,

believes that the mission was a success and that MWSS-274 exceeded all

expectations.

“We set the bar higher for all Marine wing support squadrons going into

Afghanistan,” Casey said, adding that MWSS-274 was vital to successful

operations in Helmand province.

While deployed, they supported 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward),

1st Marine Division, and I Marine Expeditionary Force, conducting op-

erations ranging from constructing new fl ight lines to training Afghan

police.

This success came with the challenge of overcoming the hardship of

family separation.

“It’s always a challenge whether it’s for one week or seven months,”

explained Casey.

Though separation due to deployment can be diffi cult for both the fam-

ily members and the Marines, MWSS-274 had a plan in place to over-

come this diffi culty. The squadron utilized a family readiness offi cer who

provided resources to families to assist them through the deployment and

maintained open lines of communication between the deployed command,

individual Marines and their families.

“I coordinated video teleconferences with various forward operating

bases in Afghanistan, so our Marines would have the opportunity to see

their families several times during the deployment,” said Jill Buria, the

FRO of MWSS-274. “FROs provide families with direct correspondence

from the command forward deployed in the ways of newsletters, articles,

photographs and messages, both verbal and written.”

According to Buria, the majority of the families in MWSS-274 felt that

this deployment was easier than previous deployments, and time passed

extremely quickly. Even so, the reunion between Marines and family

members was still very happy.

“Reunions are always amazing and exciting regardless of how long the

service member has been gone,” said Buria. “Having a complete family

back together and parents knowing that their children have returned safely

to the United States is just incredible.”

Jensen described a new initiative that would involve the purchase of

biofuels and the sale of locally produced meats and vegetables at military

commissaries and in chow halls that could help spur agriculture and keep

the land rural.

“It’s just starting out, but I’m excited about the prospect of partner-

ing with our farmers and the great state of North Carolina to ensure that

frankly, that this area doesn’t look like Miami Beach 30 years from now,

where we can maintain the fundamentally agrarian nature of this great

state, at least on the eastern side of the state,” he said.

Roberts wrote in an e-mail that local farmers will need to grow the crops

to start the industry, and investments will be needed in a biofuels refi nery

to turn those crops into fuel. The task force’s goal is to supply the military

with 1.5 million gallons per year of biodiesel by 2012.

“We see this industry as an opportunity to engage not only farmers and

military, but the region as well,” Roberts wrote. “Imagine a regional refi n-

ery that could supply biofuel to the bases, and the school bus fl eets, county

fl eets, emergency services, businesses, hospitals, prisons, etc.”

Afghan soldiers build warrior skill set,

add mortars to repertoire

RANGE JUAREZ, Afghanistan – The U.S. Marine and the Afghan soldier may speak different languages, but as 60 mm high-explosive mortar rounds sailed through air eventually reaching their fi ery conclusion a few hundred meters away, the men reacted the same way — with awe and motivation as brothers in a warrior culture.

Marines and Afghan soldiers from 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment’s Com-bined Action Company, trained with mor-tars at Range Juarez here during a mission rehearsal Aug. 28.

The company is comprised of Marines and Sailors from 3rd Bn., 3rd Marines’ Companies L and Headquarters and Af-ghan soldiers from 1st Kandak, 1st Bri-gade, 215th Corps. The men train and conduct combat operations alongside one another.

The mission rehearsal was a welcomed training opportunity for the company’s joint weapons section. Before coming to-

gether six weeks ago, the majority of the Afghan soldiers training had only been with their rifl es.

They haven’t done much training with crew-served weapons, and the majority of them have never fi red high-explosive mor-tars, explained Sgt. Alan W. Smith, weap-ons section leader.

Smith, from Chattanooga, Tenn., said the Marines and Afghan soldiers run through fi ring drills almost daily, but the routine can become monotonous. Firing live rounds is a rare opportunity.

“It’s a good experience for them to get a dose of motivation,” Smith said.

Afghan soldier Din Mohamad especially appreciated the motivation. The last time Din fi red mortars was more than a year ago, and before the training he’d never gotten the chance to shoot high-explosive rounds.

“I liked fi ring the high-explosive rounds,” Din, from Badakshan Province, said. “We’ve learned a lot. The training is very good, and we’re thankful to work with the Marines.”

When Marines head for the range every year

for annual qualifi cations, they spend the major-

ity of their time shooting at stationary targets.

While the rifl e range presents its own share of

diffi culties, another range aboard Marine Corps

Air Station Cherry Point offers a completely dif-

ferent type of challenge, the shotgun.

Two styles of shooting, skeet and trap, are

available at the Cherry Point Shotgun Range.

Each style uses the same size and weight targets,

called pigeons, that present different diffi culties

to the shooter.

During a skeet shoot, the targets fl y across

the fi eld from opposing directions and heights,

explained Steve Campbell, vice president of the

Cherry Point Shotgun Club. In trap, the target

always fl ies away from the shooter at different

angles.

Differences in the sport include the type of

shooting and how the shotguns are set up.

“Trap guns have a longer barrel with a tighter

choke, which makes the shot pattern tighter for a

longer distance,” said Campbell. “When you’re

shooting trap, you’re hitting the target at about

35 yards. With skeet, the target is closer so you

want the pattern to be at 28 to 30 inches at 23

yards.”

“Skeet shooting was established as practice

for hunting birds, it is set up to give different

heights and angles of targets,” said Fred Schnib-

ben, resident of Morehead City, N.C. “They

trained World War II pilots using skeet to learn

to use lead on a moving target, because most

live targets don’t sit still.”

“The Cherry Point Shotgun Club was established in

2005 to teach gun shooting and gun safety,” said Camp-

bell. “Skeet shooting is good for family togetherness and

teaching kids gun safety. Some gun companies like Rem-

ington and Winchester make youth model guns.”

The Cherry Point shotgun range is open to the public

year round. It opens Wednesday nights from 6-9 p.m.,

Saturdays from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. and Sundays from noon

- 5 p.m. There is lighting on the range for night shooting.

Membership to the shotgun club is $30 per year and

members only pay $2.50 per round of shooting instead of

$3 for non-members.

Even people who don’t own a shotgun are invited to

come out to the range, explained Schnibben. There is al-

ways someone out during the hours of operation who can

give advice on shooting and even purchasing shotguns.

“It’s a very friendly sport,” said Campbell. “People are

always willing to help you out whether it’s with shooting

skills or advice on different shotguns.”

The Cherry Point Shotgun Range offers two different styles of shooting, including skeet and trap. It is open year-round to military personnel and the public.

The Shotgun club was established in 2005 to teach gun safety and shooting. “Skeet shooting is good for family togetherness and teaching kids gun safety,” said Campbell. “Some gun companies like Remington and Winchester make youth model guns.”

Marines land down under, kick off exercise

ROYAL AUSTRALIAN AIR FORCE BASE TINDAL, Australia – Recently, more than 300 Marines migrated toward The Outback for Exercise Southern Frontier here.

Southern Frontier is an annual, bilateral training exer-cise hosted by the RAAF to afford Marine Aircraft Group 12 squadrons the opportunity to focus on offensive air support training in order to improve squadron readiness.

Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 224 has been provided with the high quality venue of the Dela-mere Bombing Range, south of Katherine, Australia, to develop multilateral interoperability and coalition proce-dures in air power missions.

“It’s a great training area,” said Maj. Patrick Fitzgerald, executive offi cer of VMFA(AW)-224. “There are fantastic air and ground ranges. This time of year, there’s fantastic weather. It’s all conducive to the best training we can re-ceive while we are here.”

Training will include forward air control, close-air sup-port, armed reconnaissance, low-altitude tactics and tacti-cal airborne reconnaissance over the next few weeks.

“Our focus is going to be mainly on close-air and ground support,” said Fitzgerald. “We will be talking to the guys on the deck, and we will be supporting them as they control our aviation fi res. The training is all going to be integrated at the same time so that all personnel can

benefi t from the training.”VMFA(AW)-224 arrived at RAAF Base Tindal as part

of the Unit Deployment Program, established to allow Marine Corps squadrons to deploy throughout the West-ern Pacifi c region in order to develop operational skills in forward deployed environments and form relationships with cultures within those regions.

With the support of MAG-12, Marine Wing Support Squadron 171 and Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 12, VMFA(AW)-224 will be ready to enhance readiness and joint interoperability between U.S. forces, allies and partners.

“Our job will be to provide support equipment and maintenance for gear,” said Cpl. Alexander Mcintyre, ground support equipment mechanic with MALS-12. “If something breaks, we are here to try to fi x it and get the birds back to the squadron.”

Other Marine Corps units scheduled to participate in the exercise include the 5th Air Naval Gunfi re Liason Company based at Camp Hanson in Okinawa, Japan, and 3rd Marine Regiment, a unit based at Marine Corps Base Kanehoe Bay, Hawaii.

The 5th ANGLICO’s mission will be to provide Ma-rine Air Ground Task Force personnel with close air and fi re support, observation and communication elements. All participating units have much work to do as personnel work around the clock to set up networks, work space and coordinate procedures.

According to Mcintyre, the hardest part is just getting settled in.

“There are always hardships with each deployment,” he said. “Once we get here, we have to fi gure everything out and get an idea of what our capabilities are.”

As VMFA(AW)-224 continued to receive supplies and personnel throughout the fi rst week of arrival, the unit continued to look forward to carrying out Southern Fron-tier as a successful mission.

LIMON, Costa Rica – Marines with Special-Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force Continu-ing Promise 2010 brought smiles, hugs and supplies to Costa Rican students during their visit to West-falia and Hone Creek schools in Costa Rica, Aug. 25-26.

Marines traveled along with the nongovernmental organiza-tion Give a Kid a Backpack to visit schools and pass out stuffed animals and backpacks fi lled with school supplies.

Since 2004, the Give a Kid a Backpack organization has dis-tributed more than 75,000 school supplies worldwide.

The organization’s partner-ship with Continuing Promise began in 2009, and this year, the supplies have been quadrupled. Marines distributed more than 390 backpacks to the students in Costa Rica.

“It’s a great experience to work in such a dynamic environment

with all branches of service, es-pecially the Marines,” said Kari L. Williams, native of Orlando, Fla., and public affairs represen-tative for Give a Kid a Backpack. “We haven’t worked with many Marines before, and in Costa Rica they have been helping us pass out backpacks and toys to the students.”

Approximately 10 Marines visited each school and helped personalize the backpacks for distribution. The backpacks were fi lled with three-ring binders, pencils, notebooks, toys, erasers and supplies that will further help enhance the students’ education.

“Giving to the children pro-vides me with motivation and en-ergy to keep me going on a daily basis no matter what the condi-tions may be,” Williams said. “It’s always worth it. Even if you don’t speak the same language, you can always communicate with the nonverbal language such as hugs, smiles and high-fi ves.”

After receiving their back-

packs, students and Marines in-teracted by playing dance and hand games and by counting one through 20 in Spanish and Eng-lish.

“Interacting with the children was an awesome experience for me because I am rarely around children,” said Lance Cpl. Tara L. Myers, native of San Fran-cisco, Calif., and a maintenance management specialist with 2nd Maintenance Battalion. “The children were very easy to ap-proach, and I had fun learning numbers with them.”

The Marines brought out the best in the children, said Mariam Faircloug Rose, the principal. She said the students are usually shy, but when the Marines joined them in their activities, the chil-dren came out of their shells, and she was happy to see them smile and have a good time.

“It was a very unique experi-ence,” said Myers. “I am very grateful that I got the opportunity to come out to Costa Rica.”

By working together in Costa Rica, Marines and Give a Kid a Backpack were able to strength-en a successful partnership be-tween nongovernment organiza-tions and military services. With the help of service members, the Give a Kid a Backpack will con-tinue to pass out backpacks fi lled with supplies throughout the de-ployment to Caribbean, Central and South America.

“There’s tremendous value to the partnerships that we make between nongovernmental orga-nizations and our military,” said

Williams. “Continuing Promise has allowed us to be able to work together and improve the quality of life in all of these countries. We look forward to our collabo-ration in the future with these countries.”

CHANGI NAVAL BASE, Singapore – Saving lives using agreed upon communication procedures was the goal during Pacifi c Endeavor, a multination humanitar-ian workshop hosted by the Singapore Armed Forces U.S. Pacifi c Command and at Changi Command and Control Center at Changi Naval Base, Singapore, Aug. 16-27.

Many nongovernmental organizations may have limit-ed resources and logistical challenges to overcome when responding to a disaster. This is why a rapid installation of a communication network to coordinate relief efforts is critical to saving lives.

The workshop brought together militaries from 16 Asia-Pacifi c nations and for the fi rst time since the program’s inception, members of the humanitarian community and business leaders from private industry also took part.

Salvation Army Lt. Col. Dan Starrett spoke of the im-portance of nongovernmental partnerships with the mili-tary.

“We are always looking for ways we can be better part-ners with the military. The tremendous resources the mili-tary has in moving equipment and supplies is of particular interest to us and helps us respond to the needs of people more quickly,” he said.

During the two-week event, participants tested several communication networks in a disaster scenario, which simulated an earthquake in metro Manila.

“We [Armed Forces of the Philippines] already did a similar test with Exercise Balikatan earlier this year, but communication infrastructure was just a small part. Now during Pacifi c Endeavor, we can get into the gritty details and exercise the nuts and bolts of the communications part,” said Philippines Navy Lt. Cmdr. Marcus Jason Bar-tolome, a senior communicator and one of fi ve military representatives from the Philippines attending the work-shop.

Established in 2003 under PACOM’s multinational communications interoperability program, the program mirrors similar humanitarian communication workshops taking place at European and Africa Command.

Attendees have found that by working together before a crisis, they can dramatically cut down on miscommunica-tion and misunderstanding, which can have devastating effects during a natural disaster.

The program is structured so that each participating na-tion plays a key role in the decision making process of how the workshop is planned. A corporate board consist-ing of representatives from each nation’s military spends months leading up to the workshop designing objectives.

After the objectives are agreed upon, they are then placed into the scenario and assessed, so each year they can examine the challenge and opportunities each nation faces when communicating during a natural disaster.

“This is the fi rst year we have involved internet secu-rity awareness training, so we spent time developing an agreed-upon information assurance plan,” said U.S. Ma-rine Staff Sgt. Aaron White.

“This extremely important during a humanitarian crisis because there might be private information that must be protected, such as medical information or someone’s so-cial security number,” he explained.

Many of the best practices harnessed during Pacifi c Endeavor are already being utilized when responding to natural disasters. One such training is the use of social networking tools to quickly share information among sev-eral government agencies and nongovernmental organiza-tions.

“Using web 2.0 technology during the recent Haiti cri-sis, we were able to save lives by rapidly disseminating information between the nongovernmental organizations and military communities,” said John Holloway, liaison offi cer for PACOM and Sea Services.

Holloway works for the Offi ce of the Assistant Secre-tary of Defense and tracks how the U.S. military shares information during a humanitarian crisis.

“This was a groundbreaking innovation in the way the U.S. military shares information among humanitarian agencies and the United Nations,” said Holloway. “Hav-ing this workshop compliments efforts already established and paves the way to further relationship building for in-creased coordination, which can ultimately saves lives in a natural disaster.”

September 9, 2010Section B

The 2010 Combined Federal Campaign is set to commence Sept. 16 in the

parking lot of the Marine Corps Exchange. Activities will include a blood

drive, free hot dogs and gift bags.

At the kickoff some charities with the CFC will be present to talk about their

organizations. A pledge table will also be set up for donations.

The purpose of the Combined Federal Campaign, scheduled annually each

autumn, is to provide needed fi nancial support to local, national and interna-

tional charities.

Offi cials say it doesn’t take much to help out. For example, a staff sergeant

with a basic pay of $2,400 monthly could donate just one hour’s pay per

month ($15) for a total of $180 annually. However, monthly payments are not

the only way to donate.

“The economy is still not wonderful for a lot of people,” said Bobbie J.

Whitbeck, member of the local federal coordination committee. “If you know

your fi nancial situation is stable, why not help someone in need?”

Contributions through a one-time donation are welcome as well as unit fund

raisers for the campaign.

“I think it is very important for us to make contributions,” said Whitbeck.

“We are very lucky here, and it’s important to help other people less fortunate

than us across the country. The CFC has many charities, so everyone should

be able to fi nd something they relate to.”

For the 2009 campaign year, the Cherry Point CFC drive raised a total of

$254,840, despite a struggling economy. Cherry Point has raised more than

$200,000 for the last few years in a row.

“The goal is always 100 percent contact,” Whitback said. “Everyone should

have the opportunity to make a donation.”

Whitback said that she hopes to meet or exceed last year’s impressive to-

tal.

“We have roughly 2,500 charities listed. Everyone can look at the list and

fi nd an organization that would benefi t someone they know,” Whitbeck said.

Major funding that supports scouting programs like the American Red Cross

and wounded veteran charities comes from CFC contributions.

The blood drive will support the Armed Services Blood Program. This is the

military’s own blood program, which collects blood from military communi-

ties for deployed service members.

Meteorologists with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration’s National Weather Service say too many Amer-

icans are failing to follow basic precautions about lightning this

summer.

“Too often, people wait too long before seeking safe shelter

from a thunderstorm and fi nd themselves caught outside in a

very dangerous and sometimes deadly situation,” said John Jen-

senius, a lightning safety expert with the service.

Lightning has killed at least 14 people and injured more than

100 in the United States since early June, according to news

reports and local national weather service forecast offi ces. An

average of 67 people are killed by lightning each year and hun-

dreds of lightning survivors are left with debilitating health ef-

fects.

Recent events include a worker’s death at a mobile home park

in Grayson, Ky., and a father and his stepson who were killed at

a beach in Gulf Shores, Ala.

In the same July weekend, 16 people were injured by light-

ning in Florida, North Carolina, and Wisconsin while enjoying

a baseball game, the beach, and camping. July historically ac-

counts for more lightning casualties than any other month.

“While the NOAA National Weather Service issues watches

and warnings for severe thunderstorms, all thunderstorms are

dangerous and issue a warning of their own – that being the

sound of thunder,” said Jensenius. “If you can hear thunder,

you’re likely within striking distance and need to get to a safe

place immediately. If you’re outside, you also should keep a

watchful eye on the sky for developing thunderstorms, espe-

cially if background noise interferes with your ability to hear

thunder.”

NOAA recommends that people seek safety in a substantial

building. If outdoors and unable to reach a substantial building,

a hard-topped metal vehicle is a good second choice.

Once inside, avoid contact with any electrical equipment or

plumbing, stay off corded phones, and stay away from windows

and doors.

Remain inside until 30 minutes after the thunderstorm has

passed.

SPECIAL TO THE WINDSOCK

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE

Every day, 36 people in the United States die, and approximately 700

more are injured, in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-im-

paired driver.

This December, during National Drunk and Drugged Driving Preven-

tion Month also called 3D Month, consider what you and your commu-

nity can do to decrease injuries and deaths caused by impaired driving.

The Problem

• According to the National Highway Traffi c Safety Administration, about

three in every 10 Americans will be involved in an alcohol-related crash

at some point in their lives.

• In 2006, 13,470 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, ac-

counting for nearly one-third of all traffi c-related deaths in the United

States.

• In one year, more than 1.4 million drivers were arrested for driving

under the infl uence of alcohol or narcotics. This accounts for less than

1 percent of the 159 million self-reported episodes of alcohol-impaired

driving among U.S. adults each year.

• Alcohol-related crashes in the United States cost about $51 billion a

year.

Protect Yourself, Your Family and Friends

During the holiday, and year-round, take steps to make sure that you

and everyone you celebrate with avoids driving under the infl uence of

alcohol. Following these tips from NHTSA can help you stay safe:

• Plan ahead. Always designate a nondrinking driver before any holiday

party or celebration begins.

• Take the keys. Do not let a friend drive if they are impaired.

• Be a helpful host. If you’re hosting a party this holiday season, remind

your guests to plan ahead and designate their sober driver, always offer alcohol-free

beverages, and make sure all of your guests leave with a sober driver.

Know How Communities Can Help

Proven community and state-level methods for reducing alcohol-impaired driving in-

clude:

• Sobriety checkpoints. Studies found that fatal crashes thought to involve alcohol

dropped by about 22 percent following implementation of sobriety checkpoints.

•Minimum legal drinking age laws. Studies found that raising the MLDA to 21 reduced

crashes by about 16 percent among people ages 18-20.

• 0.08 percent BAC laws. Fatal alcohol-related crashes declined about 7 percent after

0.08 percent BAC laws were passed.

• “Zero tolerance” laws for young drivers. Three studies found that zero tolerance laws

resulted in declines in fatal crashes between 9 and 24 percent among drivers ages 18-

20.

A citation from the Provost Marshal’s Offi ce is the fi rst of many negative consequences of driving under the infl uence.

3rd Recon takes on jungle terrainNORTHERN TRAINING AREA, Okinawa, Japan – Ma-rines from Company C, 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Ex-peditionary Force, conducted in-dependent operations and train-ing exercises at the Northern Training Area to hone their skills in one of the toughest terrains Aug. 16-26.

“The training we did out here was the capstone of our ground reconnaissance patrol package for this year,” said 2nd Lt. George M. Lamb, the commander for 3rd Platoon, Company C. “Through-out the spring and summer we have conducted similar opera-tions to this one in the Central Training Area.”

According to Lamb, the idea was to put together all the les-sons learned during previous patrols while training in what he believes is one of the harshest en-vironments and toughest terrains to conduct training in the Marine Corps.

During the fi rst three days of training, the 66 Marines prac-ticed platoon-size patrols through thick jungle under-brush, ending the evolution with a raid on a vil-lage being guarded by a fellow platoon.

“There were a lot of hills and thick underbrush, but not really any trails or paths to follow so we had to make our own to make it to our objectives,” said Cpl. Tucker C. Zrebie, reconnaissance Marine with Company C.

Marines broke down into squads of six to eight man teams in the days that followed, practic-ing casualty evacuation drills and patrols while advancing 1,500 to 2,000 meters a day to reach their

objectives.“We were generally moving a

kilometer a day as a platoon but the squads were moving almost double that,” said Lamb.

That may not seem like a long distance until the terrain is taken into consideration, he added.

According to Lance Cpl. Joey M. Wallace, reconnaissance Ma-rine with Company C and an as-sistant radio operator during the exercise, the exercise was defi -nitely a learning experience for him after just fi nishing up the ba-sic reconnaissance course a few

months before in Camp Pendle-ton, Calif.

“It was practice at mastering the basics but at the same time deal-ing with the terrain, the weather, and the bugs,” said Wallace.

Wallace and other radio opera-tors in Company C practiced us-ing low and high frequency radios throughout the exercise, spending much of their time overcoming natural obstacles such as river-beds, hills and draws in the jun-gle environment that interfered with radio communications.

“The nature of recon is long

range communication and we have some very talented commu-nicators out here,” said Lamb.

The 10 days of training was brought to a conclusion with a helicopter retrieval scenario.

The scenario tested many as-pects of the reconnaissance Ma-rines including their skills and en-durance. The Marines began with a movement of troops to contact, and then requested for a casualty evacuation. Initial terminal guid-ance came from two CH-46E Sea Knight helicopters direct-ing simulated close-air support

rocket-strafi ng fi re toward enemy positions. The Marines then pro-vided cover for the aircraft on the ground so Marines could safely board and head home.

“The most important thing we took from this training was the ability to stay at the same intensi-ty and focus throughout our time here in the jungle. We can draw from this experience in future deployments and exercises,” said Zrebie. “We were lucky that such a small island as Okinawa has such an area where we can freely operate to hone our skills.”

A: In many ways it was just like the relatively undevel-oped area just outside Turns One and Two.

In the mid-1950s, the land now occupied by the super-speedway held mostly small farms, according to BobbyClower, who has lived in the area all of his 77 years.

The farmers raised cattle and grew cotton and wheat.Clower recalled that much of the property where thespeedway itself now sits belonged to a farmer namedFrank Cook. The Jordan family owned some, as did a mannamed Robert E. Lee, who had a neighbor by the similarsounding name of Robert Eley.

Mr. Cook, initially, was reluctant to go along with thechanges that had come to his quiet little farmstead.

“When they were coming through with a pipeline, heused his shotgun to keep them at bay until he finally sawthe light and let them come through,” Mr. Clower said. “Bythe time the race track came along, he was at a point inhis life when he was ready to give it up.”

The land around the race track also was home to theMount Pleasant Methodist Church. But by the time therace track was being built, the church building had beenmostly abandoned, its roof leaking and only an old pianoinside. Still, the old structure became part of the earlyrace track lore.

It seems that at some point in the hurried construc-tion of the guardrail in what is now Turns One andTwo, some parts of the old church building were usedto build a bonfire.

Some of the workers that night offered the opinionthat it might bring the track bad luck to use parts ofthe house of the Lord in such a manner.

The bonfire story took on a life of its own after rainswashed out most of the scheduled races in the track’searly years, forcing costly postponements and dampen-ing fans’ enthusiasm.

But the rainouts were a boon for the area farmers,who made pocket money using their tractors to pullrace fans’ cars from the muddy parking lots. RichardLittle, a local cattleman, remembers his father gettingin on the action.

“They either pulled the people out or pulled theirbumpers off,” he said with a laugh.

As with any great change in the landscape of a com-munity, the construction of a race track in a quiet farm-ing area wasn’t greeted with unanimous enthusiasm.

Clower’s younger brother, Lonny Clower, was just ateenager when the track began to rise out of theground, and he didn’t like what he saw, at first.

“It was depressing in a way,” he said. “All that landaround there had been farmland, and all of the suddenthere was this humongous thing taking over our play-ground.” But Clower, like his brother, eventuallybecame a fan of NASCAR and a fan of the speedway.Today, he works on race weekends helping sell sou-venirs at the track.

“Later on, everything was good,” he said.

NOTEBOOKMcMurray adds another win

Jamie McMurray, the odd man out at RoushFenway Racing last year, solidified his status asthe surprise story of 2010 by scoring an impres-sive win in Saturday’s Great Clips 300Nationwide Series race at Atlanta MotorSpeedway.

McMurray – who already this year won theSprint Cup circuit’s two biggest races, theDaytona 500 and the Brickyard 400 – outranthe Nationwide Series’ hottest driver, KyleBusch, to give his Nationwide car owner DaleEarnhardt Jr. his first victory of the season.

“It means a lot to all of us,” McMurray said ofhis win for a team that struggled for most of theseason and used several different drivers beforehe came aboard to run the majority of the races.

McMurray started seventh, and took the leadfor the first time on Lap 65. But in the end, hesped past Brad Keselowski and Busch on arestart with 22 laps to go and drove away to hisfirst Nationwide victory since 2004 atDarlington.

Third-finishing Carl Edwards, who was oncea teammate of McMurray’s at Roush, saidMcMurray’s success this year is no surprise tothose who know him.

“I think Jamie’s showing everybody how goodhe is this year,” Edwards said. “It’s pretty cool tosee him having success. He’s a very humble guyand a good person.”

But an even bigger story than McMurray’svictory might have been the turnout for therace. Track officials estimated the crowd at71,000, and track president Ed Clark said itwas easily the biggest crowd ever for aNationwide race at AMS.

That number of fans would more than fillseveral of the Cup tracks now on the schedule.

No reshuffling Earnhardt teamIt looks like Lance McGrew will remain as

crew chief for Dale Earnhardt Jr. eventhough the No. 88 team will miss the cut forthe Chase to the Sprint Cup.

Team owner Rick Hendrick said Saturdaythat he has no major changes in store forthat team.

“That’s correct,” he said. “We make deci-sions as things develop during the season.And right now we’ve got a game plan andwe’re sticking to it. Next week and goinginto the Chase and during the Chase, ourplans are for those two guys to be together.”

Bodine, Busch trade barbsTodd Bodine, winner of Friday’s Camping

World Truck Series race at KentuckySpeedway, called Kyle Busch a “dirty” driverduring his VictoryLane interview, onethat was heard byBusch, who went toVictory Lane to con-front Bodine about hisremarks.

Bodine, who spunduring the race whileracing Busch, latersaid he was only say-ing out loud whatother NASCAR driv-ers are saying in pri-vate.

Busch said Bodinewas in the wrong.

“I thought that was kind of low, but that’show [Todd] Bodine is,” Busch said of Bodine’scomment. “ It was just a matter of hard rac-ing I thought. He didn’t want me racinghim that hard. Maybe next time I’ll lift.”

With the finish of the EmoryHealthcare 500 at Atlanta MotorSpeedway, the field for the Chase

for the Sprint Cup is essentially set, eventhough there’s one more race to run, atRichmond International Raceway onSaturday night, before the start of the 10-race run to the title.

Only the bottom two positions are atstake, and Greg Biffle and Clint Bowyerare still fairly secure. All Biffle has to beatis one driver at Richmond, and Bowyer hasa 117-point lead over 13th-place RyanNewman.

Even more importantly, several driversand teams, besides having clinched Chaseberths, appear to be peaking just in time tomake spirited runs to the title.

Atlanta race winner Tony Stewart andrunner-up Carl Edwards both have beenrunning strong of late, but their Atlantaruns were among their best of the season.

“We need this momentum,” Stewart saidafter taking his first win of the year. “Thisteam has been doing an awesome job forthe last two and a half or three months,and we’ve been kind of quiet this year, wetook off slow but thank goodness … theseguys with this Chevrolet have been doing agreat job.

“The pit stops have been good. The carshave been good. With [crew chief] Darian[Grubb] and these guys at our shop, it hasjust been really fun the last couple of

months.”Third-finishing Jimmie Johnson, the

four-time and defending Cup champion,said he and his crew finally hit on a chas-sis set-up that responds positively to mid-race adjustments, something that had elud-ed them in recent weeks.

“We have had some problems on themile-and-a-half, two-mile tracks,” Johnsonsaid. “[But] with the set-up we brought [toAtlanta] and the way we worked on things,it seemed we could adjust the car andimprove throughout the night and be thereat the end of the race.”

Denny Hamlin, who like Johnson hasfive wins going into the Chase, was blazingfast until a blown engine sidelined his pole-winning No. 11 Toyota after he’d led seventimes for 74 laps.

“I know if we had the reliability that wecould win this championship, and the oddswould be pretty good to win the champi-onship if I can just keep it together for 10weeks,” he said.

Kurt Busch was fast at Atlanta, even onworn tires, and he salvaged a sixth-placefinish even with damage from a late-racerun-in with Kasey Kahne.

Busch said he and his team still havework to do if they’re going to seize themomentum in the Chase.

“We’ve got to turn some things around tosee what we have against these guys ifwe’re going to run for the title,” he said.

His brother Kyle Busch was able to scorea top-five finish despite losing a lap earlyon, and points leader Kevin Harvick wasfast until a blown tire relegated him to a33rd-place finish.

Johnson said all that means fans canexpect a barn-burner of a Chase.

“If you look around, we’re going to have areally exciting Chase,” he said. “There are alot of teams coming together now.”

Edwards agreed, saying he puts a lotmore stock in the value of momentum thanhe once did. “I used to never believe inmomentum, but I’ve never run so poorly forso long,” he said. “Now, I’m seeing thisturnaround, and it’s been a couple ofmonths, and I think I understand the teammore and I understand where we’ve beengaining.

“So, for that reason, I believe in thismomentum that we have and I believe itwill apply to future races.

“You can’t do anything about a cut tire ora broken valve spring or something likethat, but at least we’ve proven to ourselvesthe last couple months that we can do it,and that feels good for us.” Johnson said hetoo sees value in a good start to the final10 races.

“We all look for things to encourage theteam, to cheer the guys up and get themrallied around – something to send themoff like warriors ready to go and chargedup for whatever is out there for them.”

How to Place a Windsock Free Classifi ed Ad

Active duty, retired military personnel and their dependents may place classifi ed ads in The Windsock at no charge. You must go to the Joint Public Affairs Offi ce in Bldg. 4817 and fi ll out an ad request form. There is a 20-word limit on military free ads and a two-ad (separate category) per household maximum per week.

Deadline for submitting free classifi ed ads is noon, Monday

When Monday is a Federal holiday, ads must be submitted by noon, Friday

To re-run, free ads must be resubmitted

Policy for Free Classifi ed Ads Providing free advertising for business ventures is prohibited by government printing regulations and confl icts with the civilian publisher’s advertising (which pays for the entire Windsock.) Therefore, as stated on the free ad request form, free classifi ed ads “...must not be of a commer-cial or business nature.” This includes baby-sitting, property for rent, and yard work. Such advertisements may only be run as paid ads. Likewise, ads promoting fund raising activities sponsored by any organization, or events for which a fee is charged, are also not authorized under the free ad provision.

The Windsock will only publish free ads for animals which the owner is giving away. Real estate for sale must be exclusively “By Owner.” Failure of an ad to appear in The Windsockusually indicates the submission did not meet the criteria for free publication.
